AT THE PIE COUNTER POLYMER WHAT COLORED AMERICANS MAY EXPECT. THOSE WHO EXPECT A SLICE OF PIE. VOL. XLI. NO. 28 AT WHAT COLORED EXPECT. THOS A SLICE OF PIE COLORED APPOINTMENTS UNDER HARDING REGIME Selections to Be Made Slow and Carefully—Those Who Were on the Campaign Pay-Roll Not to Be Considered. Now that many Congressmen have again returned to this city, political speculation, gossip and activities have shifted from New York and Chicago, where the Republicans maintained headquarters during the campaign, to this city, and the air is rife as to whom the President-elect will select for Cabinet positions and various other positions in his bestowal. Especially is there much speculation as to what the colored people will get under Mr. Harding. There appears to be a deep-seated conviction that Mr. Harding will go slow in making colored appointments, and that the men he selects, if any, will be men well qualified to administer the duties of their office, rather than men recommended merely because of political activities. The fact that Mr. Harding received such an overwhelming majority; that his election could have resulted if not a single colored man had voted, minimizes, rather than increases, the probability of quick action in making appointments of colored men. Then, again, the fact that the party did the unexpected thing—made dent in the "Solid South," creates a doubt, among colored men, as to whether or not he will give recognition to Southern colored men. The party is now firm in the belief that, having broken the Solid South, by conciliating the white Southerners, it can widen the break at the next election, and "conciliating" white Southerners means that to some degree, even to the degree that President Taft went, the colored men in the South will be temporarily sacrificed in the hope that the end will justify the means. The opposition in Georgia among the whites to Henry Lincoln Johnson being national committeeman, and the The Washington Bee The Poro College Annex- The Greatest Colored Institution in the World, Work of Mr. and Mrs. Malone. Great Celebration at St. Louis, Mo, belief that had he not permitted himself to be chosen to that positon results would have been obtained in Georgia for the party, suggests, some think, that Johnson will not be further honored by receiving an appointment. Then, too, the notoriety he received through congressional investigation of pre-convention campaign expenditures, showing that he received $9,000 from the Lowden people, and that he supported Lowden rather than Harding, in the convention because of this $9,000 retainer fee, it is thought, eliminates him from consideration for appointment. His old position, held under Taft, Recorder of Deeds, may never again go to an outside man, for the Recorder of Deeds is strictly a local office, maintained by fees paid in by local people, and with the few appointments due the District, it is thought this will go to a District man, whether he be white or colored. "Colored Bureau" Eliminated. Speculation also limits the possibility of any of the members of that so-called "colored bureau" at Chicago being favored. A very prominent white man, supposed to be close to Senator Harding, is authority for the statement that the men who made up that useless appendage were well paid for their services in cash and have no further lien on Mr. Harding or the party. It is said they had little, if any, latitude; that they really constituted nothing less than a "mutual admiration society," and that they achieved nothing. The Bee's informant, and heis man presumed to enjoy Senator Harding's confidence, further stated that those men forming that "colored bureau" contributed nothing to the campaign expenses financially; that it was a liability rather than an asset, and further, that in no previous empaigh did financial contributions from colored men fall so low as in this campaign. "It appeared," said he, "that the desire was to see how much they could take out, rather than how much they could put in." It is known here that under the Roosevelt and Taft administration the WASHINGTON, D. C. SATURDAY. DECEMBER 4, 1920. colored men appointed to office, and those who held office, with perhaps but one exception, contributed financially to the campaign fund. They were nearly all what were termed as "Booker T. Washington men," and the late Dr. Washington, it is well known here, was addicted to "giving" as well as "receiving." Ohio Men at Odds. Ordinarily, it would be supposed that with the President-elect from Ohio, colored men in that State would stand the best chance for appointment, but with Ohio colored men at odds with each other, each and every one carrying a knife for the other, and ready to go the limit in destroying each other, the chances for Ohio colored men to land is gloomy. Discussing the Ohio situation, our informant said: "Ohio has many able and capable colored men—perhaps too many for their own success, but they are at strife with each other, and it will be almost impossible for Mr. Harding to select one from among them to be pleasing to the others. Cottrill, who was attached to the Colored Bureau at Chicago, is regarded by the rank and file of colored men in Ohio as a constitutional officeseeker and holder, and there are other reasons that.might be advanced why he cannot be selected. His appointment under Taft was held up for confirmation for several months; and there are opponents of his. I understand, who are ready to fight his confirmation, on the same grounds, should he by any possibility be selected for appointment. Editor Smith, of the Cleveland Gazette, would not only be bitterly fought. by some of his own race, but the white political organization in Ohio would not look with favor on his appointment to anything. Thomas W. Fleming, the Cleveland councilman, because of his doubtful ward political association, would meet with even greater opposition; and besides, colored men in the State of Ohio, with whom I have been talking, do not consider him equipped for any important office. Ralph Tyler, had he supported Senator Harding in the pre-convention campaign, would have easily landed, did he so desire, but the fact that he did not, plus the fact that he has declared himself as having no desire for political office, eliminates him. Were he selected, it is believed that the feud existing between him and Editor Smith would cause the latter to fight Tyler. Smith fought him when he was selected by Roosevelt, but without success. Fred Patterson, the man who withdrew from the delegate-at-large contest, to aid Harry Daugherty, Harding's preconvention manager, appears, according to gossip here, to be in the most strategic position, in the event he desires political appointment. He withdrew at the last moment to please Mr. Daugherty, and although he incurred the emmity of his race in the State, who bitterly assailed him for what they termed 'throwing the race down,' he earned the gratitude of Mr. Daugherty and Senator Harding as well, and made three or four speeches in Ohio with Harding. He lives in Daugherty's home district, and it is expected that Daugherty will go the limit for him, if Patterson wants an office, and some say his business now will not prevent him from accepting. A fight against him, however, would be made by his own people, as well as by some whites. Thus you see the attitude of Ohio colored men toward each other makes it utterly impossible for Mr. Harding to select any one of them who would be satisfactory to the others." . New York's Chances. It appears that New York is tainted with a feud not dissimilar to the one existing in Ohio. Charley Anderson, who for a number of years has been recognized, as New York's colored leader, was kept out of the campaign—that is, kept out of the prominent part he has heretofore played—by Henry Lincoln Johnson and his associates on the Colored Bureau. Then, too, it is not suspected that Editor Fred Moore is as strong for Anderson as he used to be, and it is doubtful if the Age would support the longtime New York colored leader for an appointment. And Moore and Harris, of the New York News, can be depended upto to attempt to kill each other off, should either aspire to an office.

The New Annex—The Dedicatory Exercises of the Greatest Institution in the United States—Five Acres of Floor Space—Cost About $500,000—The Neighborhood Center—Philanthropic Scope—Many Visitors Present. (Special to The Bee.) St. Louis, Mo., November 30. In the midst of the profusion of beautiful flowers, folk-lore music and fitting decorations, the new annex to Poro College was joined to the mother plants this week. The dedicatory exercises occupied the final four days of Thanksgiving week and were attended and participated in by the flower of racial endeavor and accomplishment from all over the country. The event brought so many of the outstanding members of the race to St. Louis that Prof. Aaron E. Malone, president, and Mrs. Annie M. Malone, founder of Poro College, anticipated it as a signal for the arrangement of various conferences looking up to the welfare and advancement of colored people. Five Acres of Floor Space. Admiring visitors inspected the different departments of the institution, and were greatly impressed by the magnitude of the undertaking, the almost flawless system of administration and the abiding evidences of its success. It is truly a unique organization, with its compact combination of industrial, commercial, educational, philanthropic and religious features, and probably has no counter part in all the world. With the added 20,000 square feet in the newly completed annex, floor space in the Poro establishment aggregates 5 acres, every inch of which is devoted to teaching some useful lessons to the youth of the race. The spectacle of 230 young women and young men engaged in the manufacture, shipping and clerical addenda of Poro products; the array of hundreds of girls uniformly intent upon acquiring the culture to fit them for useful occupation; the gentle Christian atmosphere that starts with the chapel assembly in the morning and pervades the discipline of the entire day, sug- gesting an iron/hand in a velvet glove; the elegant simplicity of mural decorations, often by colored artists; the curriculum that provides for culture by contact and example; the essence of applied business science reduced to its lowest terms gives Poro College first rank among useful and successful racial undertakings and a singular place for Mr. and Mrs. Malone among the leaders in constructive efforts. Cost $500,000. Rapid evolution of the Poro enterprise necessitated the erection less than two years ago of a building that cost $350,000. As soon as the plant was installed it was discovered that even with the most careful economy of space the new building did not meet the demands of the business, and one of the first plans set to work in its new home was to project additional floor acreage. This was accomplished two weeks ago when the annex was completed at a cost of $150,000, bringing the building investments of Poro College during the last two years up to $500,000, absolute bookkeeper's figures. The annex adjoins the mother plant and, like the first, is built of the finest and most secure of fireproof materials and is connected with sundry tunnels and bridges, the arteries of the economic system. Every improvement in equipment that is available has been installed; mechanical carriers that bring the Poro products from the laboratories to the shipping tables; labor-saving office appliances; cleanly young women diligently operating in scrupulously clean factories, flooded with light from hundreds of windows—that is the new home of Poro College. Neighborhood Center. And this splendid monument to racial achievement is in the very heart of a colored neighborhood, facing one of the leading churches and within a stone's throw of two of the principal school buildings. "But why," we asked. Mr. and Mrs. Malone, "did you not erect this magnificent racial enterprise down in the center of the business district? Wouldn't it be a revelation to the white people to see daily what you (Continued to page 8.) --- BE NOT DECEIVED. God Is Not Mocked—Whatsover a Man Soweth That Shall He Also Reap. Be not deceived, Mr. White Man. God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. Some years ago, you remember, Belgium sowed a large field of hatred and oppression against her helpless colored subjects in Africa. And, you remember, also, that the day of harvest came some time in the month of August, 1914, when Belgium reaped—but reaped to her lasting sorrow. Today—and for many years—the white man of the United States of America has been busy sowing oppression against his inoffensive and helpless colored friends, as did shattered Belgium against her best friends. But all the colored people must do, for the present, is to sit in prayer. For the day of harvest is coming—it's coming! The Shame I am thinking now of the shameful and cowardly murdering of three colored human souls away down in remote Douglas, Georgia, which occurred on the 17th instant. One of these three was a poor woman. Think of these cowardly, burly white men shooting a poor woman—she being the wife of one of the men shot to death! No doubt this man and his wife left several little children who must now make it in life as best they can. (And I pause here for a moment to ask, where is that self-appointed leader of the race who is the founder and sole proprietor of that so-called Race Congress? Where is he? Hasn't he enough of the people's money in his pockets to go or to send a representative to fetch those little children, if there be any left behind, so that they may be cared for?) Come Together. If there ever was a time for the colored people to come together in an "indignation meeting" for the purpose of petitioning the United States Congress to make lynching a national crime, it is now! Some mighty strong speeches were made during the past campaign against lawlessness. And now, colored leaders, is the time to strike while the iron is hot. We can't afford to sit quiet and look as though all is well, while the men and women of the race are being shot down like so many diseased cattle. Let's call an "indignation meeting." The times demand it. No other race, save the colored race, would rest so easily when men and women of their blood were being slaughtered on mere suspicion of having committed a crime. Who Dares. I would not write a single line in behalf of any man or woman who dares to willfully take the life of another. But there is the courts in which violators of the law should be tried, and certainly any man or woman who is accused of murder should be heard in their own defense. But those bloodthirsty, cowardly, ignorant Southern mobs only call for a "mere suspicion" to proceed with their hellish, speedy execution—especially if a colored man or boy, woman or girl happens to be the accused party. Something ought to be done, and something must be done to put a stop to this shameful lynching of human souls in this country. If let alone these Southern mobs will be killing colored men, women and children indiscriminately here, as the American marines are charged with killing colored people in Haiti. The Same Old Lie. That old lie, that the prisoners were being protected by the sheriff, has been told, in the same way, so often till it has become threadbare. Then, too, there is the coroner's jury—possibly made up of the gentlemen (?) whose hands were stained with the blood of the victims—that rehearses the same old lie: "The victims were killed by parties unknown to the jury." Just imagine how this faraway country would be stirred up if England would shoot down several men and women in Ireland on mere suspicion. Even the white pulpits, which quench the spirit and manage to keep serenely quiet while the colored people here are being murdered, would raise their voices and cry aloud against such a shameful act. They can see the injustice done the poor men, women and children in far-away Belgium, France, and Ireland, and even the poor Jews in Russia, but they seem to be too blind to see the devilly done against the colored people, who are their best friends, right here under their nose. White men of America, thou hast a dreadful account to render at the bar of God; and no nation of peoples need dread a heavier doom. You are going to reap, some day, what you have sown. J. C. Cunningham. VOIGT is an old name, one that is kn Fine Jewelry is sold.

For many years the leaders of our national recreational and other social agencies have been pointing out to us the immense social and economic values attached to the proper use of the leisure time of the people. Leisure time may easily become a curse rather than a blessing. The idler is at once the advocate of discontent. Leisure time must be usefully employed. if we are to stimulate the proper sources of human happiness. Community Service Incorporated has established agencies in a number of cities. In Washington we have Community Service of the District of Columbia, its purpose being to organize the social and recreational resources of the community and direct in a helpful and stimulating way the leisure time of the people. This purpose is achieved, not by seeking to establish a new type of social unit, but by using the social forces at hand, such as the churches, lodges, schools, clubs, etc., developing through them and the people a new sense of community duty. Every problem has its solution; every question its answer. It is simply in becoming familiar with conditions-proper analysis. One of the most interesting features of the work in this city is that now being done among the colored people, and it is encouraging to note the enthusiasm with which they are responding to the efforts of workers among them. If this enthusiasm and interest can be maintained in a fair degree the results should be for the distinct betterment and advancement of the colored population. Among the colored people, as in every other group, there have been those who were advanced, progressive and respected of others, but also, as in every other group, there have been those who needed incitement to affect an improvement. The work now being done provides the very incitement which is needed, and an continuance of effort on the part of individuals cannot fail to react for the uplift of the whole. At Play Leaders' Institute is being conducted at Howard University under the direction of the Colored Work Department of the Community Service of the District of Columbia and constitutes an excellent feature of the work, for the program contains other things than mere lectures on the theory of play, but practical demonstrations in play leading under the direction of experts in this field from Oberlin, Sargent School of Physical Recreation and Posse Gymnasium, Boston, Mass. The course is free and the registrations insure valuable results to the entire community. The courses are open to church leaders, school teachers, community center secretaries, the playground workers, and through splendid co-operation from Howard University, the Washington Board of Education and the colored churches there is presented that one thing, to bring together all the various organizations; to harmonize and to unify all elements within the community. In addition to the splendid faculty provided for this institute, special speakers have been invited to address the class on the many phases of community work. Among these is noted Dr. Abram Simon, of the Board of Education; Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, president of Howard University; Hon. George Holden Tinkham, Congressman from Massachusetts; Judge Robert H. Terrell; Dr. E. L. Parks, of Howard University; Mrs. Coralie F. Cook, Washington Board of Education; Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, of the U. S. Public Health Service, and Henry F. Burt, executive of the Community Service of the District of Columbia. The Negro, with his natural gift of song, offers a veritable gold mine here in Washington, waiting only to be guided under expert leadership. Among the thousands of colored Government employees here lies a most fertile field for the development of a worth-while community music program. Plans are being developed for the presentation of a pageant to be produced some time during the month of January, 1921. The feature of this pageant will be the musical phase which is being slowly developed by group-organization methods throughout the city. The needs of the colored people of Washington call for the very best in the way of effort, equipment and intelligent leadership. If an intelligent working knowledge of the local situation is available there is no doubt but that the people of Washington will rally to the cause, thereby assisting in developing a greater love for music and a desire for intelligent and sane leadership which in the end means better race relations and a bigger, better, safer and saner Washington. Lieut. Lawrence A. Oxley, who during the war was the only colored moral officer in the U. S. Army, is in charge of the colored work. As associate workers he has Mrs. Corinne Thomas Christy, graduate of Oberlin and Sargent School of Physical Education, Boston; Miss Katherine E. Beard, Columbia University, and Miss Virginia L. Williams, of Washington, D. C. Announcement is made of the incorporation of the Prudential Bank, capitalized at $100,000. This bank is organized to do a commercial and savings account business. A temporary office has been opened at 1320 You street northwest, where payments on stock subscribed will be received by the secretary. The officers and directorate are composed of some of the most substantial citizens of Washington, which means the success of this new and needed enterprise. Shares are selling at $125 (par value $100) per share, in monthly installments if desired. Washington can support three or four banks among our people. This bank will aid our already successful Industrial Savings Bank, in that it will assist in educating our people in using their own banks. The officers are John R. Hawkins, president; H. P. Slaughter, vicepresident; R. H. Rutherford, treasurer; C. W. Banton, secretary. The board of directors is composed of the following well known citizens: Geo. A. Robinson, John R. Hawkins, Henry P.

The club has been organized for a number of years. The purpose of the club is to promote a better and a more intelligent religious sentiment among its members.

Mr. Bryan, in his Commoner for November, prints a signed article entitled "Placing the Blame," in which he accounts for the phenomenal Republican majority. Says he: "The President laid the foundations for the disaster, and Governor Cox completed the structure." Mr. Bryan gives in detail some of the mistakes of the President and some of the blunders of Cox which he thinks affected the result. He lays stress on the autocracy and stubbornness of the President causing the alienation of certain leaders of his own party and that element of Republican voters that supported him in 1916, and on his management of the League of Nations question. He says that Cox aggravated the mess that the President had made, and among the counts in the indictment are these: Avoided domestic issues; made the league issue paramount; misrepresented the Republicans on that issue; dodged the liquor question openly, but sought slyly to convey the impression in the West that he was dry and in the East that he was wet; favored Wall Street in the East and abused Wall Street in the West; attempted to put his party in the attitude of being the sole guardian of peace; and made disgraceful assaults on various persons and things. Mr. Bryan predicts that Mr. Harding will satisfy the expectations of the Nation on the great international issues, but as to domestic problems, he says: "In the meantime, the progressive forces of the Nation will organize to compel Congress and the President to provide the legislative means by which the masses can protect themselves from the greed of the exploiters."

So far as we can make out, the Independent explains the Ku-Klux defeat on the ground that the majority of the voters were crazy. Crazy men usually think that way. Mr. William Jennings Bryan is a "pawkie chiel." He saw the right moment to cut adrift of the Ku-Klux party. They say he is one of those who want to reorganize it. Don't, Mr. Bryan; let it die now. Besides, you deserve better company. Keep an eye on the investigation now in progress in Hajti. Note the testimony as reported in the dispatches; then compare it with the final report of the board of inquiry. The Independent (New York), "journal of civilization," has not printed a line of news from Haiti: Why this thusness? The reason why there are not enough houses in the cities is because ten millions of people have quit the farms in the last few years. When country life is made more attractive and profitable there will be less urgent need for additional houses in cities. Better houses in the country is the more crying need. The farm is the thing. Men cannot live by factories alone. We thank our friends for compliments on the hard knocks we gave the Ku-Klux party in the recent campaign. The time has passed for talking politely to or about the Ku-Klux party. The Bee was practically the only paper that during the campaign told the whole truth about that gang of political mountebanks and cut-throats, "if we do say it ourselves, as oughtn't to say it." We felt as did Pope— "Vice is a monster of such hideous mien. As to be hated is but to be seen; But seen so oft, familiar with its face, We first endure, then pity, then embrace." NEWS OF THE CHURCHES. Rev. Charles H. Wesley, of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, who is a student at Howard, spent his holiday here. Before he returned he preached a Thanksgiving sermon at the church at 11 a. m. Sunday, and at 2 o'clock conducted the funeral services of Mr. Frank General. He took for his text, "Teach us to number our ways, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom." He was a member of the Young Men's Protective Association. At Mt. Zion M. E. Church, the national secretary of the Woman's Missionary Society, Mrs. Mary L. Woodruff, gave an interesting talk on its work, at 11 a. m. The community center of the church opened November 30 at Twenty-ninth and O streets northwest. It is open to all. It is requested that all who can will contribute books for the center. Rev. H. J.

The services were very inspiring to deceased, Veterans' families, who were present, and who spoke highly of the ceremonies and the eulogies. Frank Pendleton is Chief Veteran; Chas. H.

A. building, science hall, funds for scholarships and endowment, Lincoln University has a drive on for half a million dollars. Lincoln Alumni have already sub- scribed $35,000, and the Presbyterian General' Board of Education' promised $100,000 if the half million' is made. A DRIVE FOR SOULS. A great revival was held at Ames Memorial M. E. Church, Baltimore, Md., by Rev. W. H. Dean. There were 490 converts and 561 accessions to the church in twenty-six days. The meeting closed Thanksgiving night, with the regret of having to turn away hundreds during the meetings and only being able to seat 1,800. NEXT WEEK AT THE HOWARD To have been to London and not seen one of the great melodramas at the famous Drury Lane Theatre is like having visited Paris and not see the modistes' shops in the Rue de la Paix. It is to have missed a feature of the English capital which makes a sojourn there, memorable. But there is no need to go to London to have that opportunity. "The Hope," one of the most thrilling of great Drury Lane thrillers ever produced by those master dramatists, Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton, is to be shown here Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Charles Ray adds one more to his pleasing list of small town screen heroes in "A Village Sleuth." It's an enjoyable comedy. The picture is a hit. It will be seen at the Howard Theatre Wednesday and Thursday. Breezy Wallace Reid in another smashing automobile romance, entitled "What's Your Hurry," is on the bill Friday and Saturday. It travels even more swiftly than his other great pictures, and the climax will make your hair stand on end. Don't miss these features next week. STANDARD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY.

Norman, president, and Dr. J. I. Loving, secretary, met at 11 a.m. on Monday in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, R street between 12th and 13th streets northwest. The meeting was largely attended, and the reports of the pastors highly entertaining. Dr. A. Willbanks, who had just returned from Savannah, Ga., where he conducted a very successful revival reported on conditions as he saw them in the South. He stated that it was his opinion that the relations between the white and colored people of the South were more strained now than they had been at any time since the Civil War. He recommended prayer as the best remedy for this condition or state of affairs. Dr. P. M. Mayfield, of Charlotte, N. C., and other visitors were introduced to the conference and made interesting addresses. Rev. Dr. J. S. L. Holloman, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, was the order of the day Monday. He preached a most excellent sermon, which was favorably commented upon by Dr. Walter S. Brooks, Dr. Howard, Dr. Lamkins, Dr. Bullock, Dr. Randolph, Dr. Waldron and others. Rev. S. Geriah Lamkins, pastor of the McKinley Memorial Baptist Church, will be the order of the day at 12:30 p. m. next Monday. Subject: "What does the election of Senator Warren G. Harding as President of the United States mean to the colored people of this country?" The subject will be thrown open for discussion. The public is invited. There are several racial enterprises to be considered by the Executive Committee before they are brought before the conference for their consideration, as it is the declared intention of the conference to look carefully into all business enterprises that may seek their support before giving them their indorsement or recommending them to the people.

The Blue and White steam roller, rough, ready and indomitable de- feated Lincoln University on Thanksgiving Day by a score of 42 to 0. The round thrashing was administered in the American League Park, before the largest crowd, regardless of color, that ever attended a football game of this class in the Capital City. Indeed, a fair representation of colored America saw the Howardites outplay the lads from Pennsylvania in every phase of the game. So ruthless was Howard's purpose to roll up a mighty score, in fact the largest of the season, that Lincoln's back was ever against the wall. At the very beginning of the first period Lincoln advanced the ball in easy scoring distances, but Howard immediately took a stern stand in this quarter, when Williams recovered a fumble and ran 20 yards for a touchdown. The first quarter was one of thrills, excitement and football struggles. At times the vantage shifted to Lincoln and then to Howard. So the circle went until in the second quarter the Howard eleven smashed Lincoln's famous end runs and broke the spirit of that team by keeping the ball out of Lincoln's territory. Lincoln's only chance to score was in this quarter, when Coach Morrison sent in almost the entire second team. Lincoln advanced by a forward pass and line plunge to Howard's 8-yard line. It was then that the 2,000 Lincoln rooters, students and alumni pleaded with their wormout warriors to save the honor and reputation of the school by making at least one touchdown. This was only a moment of hope, for the whistle blew the end of the first half of the game. Nor did hope return. At the very start of the third period Williams, Howard's left end, received a kickoff and galloped down the fiel 92 yards for the third touchdown of the game. Howard now played a spectacular game. By her varied trick plays, flashy line shifts and overhead plays, Lincoln was completely bewildered. In quick order Payne and Brannon were sent over the line for two more touchdowns. Doneghey was the next to register. Then after Captain Lawrence received a hard forward pass, Payne ran down the curtain by skirting the end for 30 yards, thus making the sixth and last touchdown of the game. Dr. Morrison's boys were in wonderful physical-condition and coached in every feature of the game, moved like an oiled machine. The game was featured by Howard's teamwork as a whole. Still she owes much to the swift work of Williams in breaking up forward passes and in blocking kicks; the defensive and offensive playing of Captain Lawrence and Fuller were remarkable. Payne and Carter were the strongest supports of the backfield and principals of almost every effective play. This sweeping victory makes Howard the intercollegiate football champion of colored America. She has played and defeated seven teams this season, without once having her goal line crossed. In all Howard's eleven amassed 133 points to her opponents' 3 points. BUREAU OF ENGRAVING AND PRINTING. Mrs. Luray Taplett, of the Printing Division, has been ill with grip, but is convalescing. *** Mr. John Shaw, of the Elevator Staff, lost his oldest son, John, Jr., Saturday. *** Mr. John Brooks, of the Bureau Relief Association, died suddenly on Saturday. His friends extend their sympathy to the family. The sudden death of Mrs. Julia E. Edelin on November 17, was a shock to the employees, as she worked to the closing hour and died at 7:30. She was buried from the Bethlehem Baptist Church Sunday, November 21. Resolutions were read, and the floral offerings were many. "Gates Ajar" was presented by the employees of the Bureau. Mr. Richard Stevens, the only colored pressman in the Surface Branch, has returned after two weeks' vacation at his home in Chicago.

WHITE SOUTH INDORSES INTER-RACIAL COOPERATION Declares Lynching a Crime—Legal Societies Needed—Both Races Need Protection-Ignorance Breeds Disorder, Vice and Crime-Churches Must. Teach the People-Interracial Committees Needed-Denominations Face Serious Problems. Hampton, Va., Nov. 23.—"The real responsibility for the solution of inter-racial problems in the South rests directly upon the hearts and consciences of the Christian forces of our land." The Christian Leaders' conference on inter-racial cooperation, held at Blue Ridge, N. C., under the auspices of hte commission on inter-racial cooperation, summarized in these words its appeal to the Christian people of the South. The Christian Leaders' platform declares (1) lynching to be a crime against the nation's honor and calls upon the South for an uncompromising opposition to all mob violence; (2) urges laymen throughout the South to keep in close touch with the administration of justice, particularly in the petty courts; and to form legal aid societies for the benefit of the poor and unprivileged of all races; (3) urges that adequate and equitable arrangements be made for the safety and comfort of Negro travelers; (4) deplores the insanitary and bad housing conditions among Southern Negroes and calls upon Christians for active cooperation in righting such conditions; (5) holds that ignorance breeds disorder, vice and crime; (6) urges ministers to teach people to apply Christian principles to their treatment of the colored race; (7) calls on all the Christian forces to cooperate with the commission on interracial cooperation; (8) recommends the formation of local inter-racial committees whose object will be the conservation of peace and justice for all; (9) requests the official and denominational organizations of both races to make a thorough study of inter-racial problems and work out adequate inter-racial programs. Among those who attended the conference were Howard W. Odum, University of North Carolina; Bishop T. D. Bratton, president of the American Sociological Congress; President F. A. McKenzie, of Fisk University; President R. E. Blackwell, of Randolph-Macon College; Dr. S. C. Mitchell, president of the Southern Sociological Congress; Rev. John Little, of Louisville; President W. L, Proteat, of Wake Forest College; W. D. Weatherford and J. L. Kesler, of Nashville; Rev. Dr. M, Ashby Jones, of Atlanta; L. M. Favrot, of New Orleans; W. W. Alexander, of Atlanta; Mrs. T. W.

In speaking of the colored members of the bar, there is one thing lacking and that is unity. There is a degree of jealousy among the members. Many of the lawyers are in office and practice after office hours, so to speak. A man who has a profession should not hold a public office and practice law after office hours. There are a few of them whose names L will not mention at present. There are called after-office-hour lawyers, just as some physicians are known as after-hour doctors. There is an individual in the northwest who has been practicing medicine for a number of years and at the same time is holding down a watchman's job; another is an engineer in one of the bureaus, and a few others are messengers. Another individual who would like to be regarded a big man among his people; but he is a night watchman. Now this man has talent and is quite smart, but not smart enough to give up his watchman's job. It is no disgrace to be a watchman, a laborer or a messenger; but whatever you are and whatever your vocation in life is, stick to it and be a master of your particular calling. If you can't get higher than a laborer or watchman, be an expert in this particular line of work until you can go higher. Thomas Walker is the leading real estate operator among his people and a lawyer by profession. Aside from his profession, he is a liberal contributor to all honest movements among his people. He has made many personal sacrifices to help others. R. R. Honor is a fighter when he is in the ring. He is a good civil lawyer, quiet and progressive. Attorney Myers is another good theoretic fighter and a determined individual. He is progressive. Thomas Becket is a hustler and would make good if he would stick to his profession. Charles H. Herman is no doubt a very good lawyer, but he has one fault. Mr. Robinson is coming to the front. He is quiet and a hard worker. Attorney Porter would make his mark if he would stick strictly to his profession. He knows the law and its application. John A. Moss, known as the sage of the legal profession, in days gone by, was the leading colored member at the bar. While he may be eccentric, he has the respect of the leading members of the bar. He has been fined for contempt more than any five or ten members of the bar. During days of the late Judge Small, Mr. Moss was fined for contempt at least twice a week. It was a small matter for him to have a fine imposed, pay it, leave the court, return and repeat the same ogense. Armond W. Scott is one of the most positive characters at the local bar. He is a good examiner and an --- THE COLORED BAR. By One of Them. eloquent speaker. He is a success as a lawyer. The colored bar lacks organization. A bar association was established two or three years ago and about six or seven meetings have been held. If a member dies some member will collect for flowers. This aggregation would be a great factor in the community if there was unity among the members, notwithstanding they are doing well and making good in the legal profession. THANKS PASTOR AND CHURCH Whereas, it was necessary to secure a large auditorium in which the lecture, "The Truth About Haiti," was to be given by the acting secretary, James Weldon Johnson, on October 25th, and Whereas, the pastor and officers of the Metropolitan Baptist Church granted the use of their church for the above purposes without compensation; therefore, be it Resolved, That the District of Columbia Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in monthly meeting assembled, hereby votes the pastor, Dr. M. W. D. Norman, and the Board of Trustees of said church thanks, with assurances of its sincere appreciation of the public and loyal racial spirit shown by their action; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to Dr. M. W. D. Norman, the Board of Trustees of said church and the public press. Above resolutions were unanimously passed November 10, 1920. Frankly, I must say that the work of The Bee in the recent campaign was the most aggressive and hard hitting done by any newspaper that came under my notice. Nowadays one seldom sees the truth about the Democratic party so truthfully, forcefully and logically stated. John Gilbert. Editor of The Bee: Your editorials during the past campaign have been the best printed in any colored newspaper. You hit from the shoulder. You hit the bull's-eye. I halfway feel that it was you that caused that awful landslide. Something caused a national disgust against the Ku Kluxers, and I suspect it was The Bee. Henry Adkins. The Washington Bee: At the battle of the Brandywine George Washington is reported to have tapped an intrepid soldier on the shoulder who was wading knee deep in the blood of the British and said: "My good man, give them a chance to escape. For God's sake, don't make a slaughter house out of a battlefield." The valiant work of The Bee in the late campaign reminds me of that story. Silas Simpson.

Its "universal joint" conforms with the principles of anatomy and physiology of the spinal joints and is remarkably adapted to manipulative treatment of the human spine. When it is remembered that the spine is the "backbone" of the body and contains the spinal cord, which gives off nerves to all organs and parts of the body, it will readily be understood that health and strength depend largely on the condition of the spine and spinal cord. Strain, weakness, irregular or abnormal condition of any region of the spine will affect the spinal cord, thus causing troubles in the organs which get their nerve supply from that section of the cord, be it the heart, lungs, stomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, uterus, bladder, or any other organs. Osteopathic treatment corrects the spinal troubles, releases the cord and nerves, regulates the circulation, strengthens the organs, and Nature does the rest. Dr. Parker pays special attention to cases of female troubles and troubles of the eyes. Come, let me get you well and make you happy, healthy, successful, and your life will be well worth living.

APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.” The Board of Education to Hold a * Conference, = Editor of The Bee: . a) “We notice in‘the daily press that the. Board of .Education will hold a conference of the répresentatives of the various citizens’ associations: De- cember 8th to secure unanimous ap- proval of its. recommendations for estimates for the year 1921-1922. We understand that. a lump sum is re- quested for new school buildings, to be. spent at the discretion of the School ‘Board. . 3 The discriminations against the colored: schools in the past makes us pause in giving any such sweeping powers to the board. On the basis of ‘school attendance we are entitled to $1 for every $2.34 given white chil- ‘dren. Last year we received $420,000 against $2,392,000 for white schools. This means we receiyed $1 for-every $5.70 given. white schools. The .de- Plorable condition’ of our . colored schools shows that this condition has ‘been going on for years. The fire- trap at -Deanwood shows that unless we arouse public interest in-our own schools and: have adequate representa- tion, we -will suffer: neglect. In order to. secure our just share of. the: ben- efits of taxation it is necessary that we should first make a study “of our needs, then prepare a program and appoint intelligent, energetic repre- sentatives to insure’ the execution of our program. * The Civic Alliance could-be the federated representative body we so thuch need, if it.can be resuscitated, _ Notice is hereby given that a meet- ing will be held under its auspices for a. conference of the: representa- tives: of several citizens’ associations, inchiding the chairmen of their school committees, on Tuesday evening, ‘November 30th, at 8 o'clock, at ‘the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y. M, C. A, to formulate ’a program for the campaign for new buildings for col- ored schools.
